Question

What are the cause and effect of mythologies?

Answer 1

all myths are based on facts. It is when they become popular that they become myths and get labeled as untrue because some myths do get exaggerated. It is hard to distinguish the real myths that are based on the truth and those who have some truth but are mostly exaggerations. I have discovered that many myths that I previously thought were not true, are actually true based on facts. But I really think that a lot of important Facts don't get the attention they deserve because they are labeled as myths instead of Facts and therefore are taken for granted.

Answer 2

well mythologies tend to get distorted for years and years till eventually we call it a religion and start killing those that dont believe the same as us
